A Weekend in Dublin: Colcannon

The reasons I LOVE Dublin: The people are kind and generous of spirit and this is reflected in their cooking, be it at Michelin starred restaurant www.lecrivain.com/  or one of the local pubs; They speak English and I understand them - most of the time; There is music everywhere; There are wonderful traditional pubs; There is great shopping and amazing food stores; There are tons of ethnic restaurants; Guinness bread!  made with molasses - so good! Scones for breakfast - or any time of day for that matter!

Maple Syrup Time! - Pudding au Chômeur or Maple Sticky Pudding

I think that every country has a food that you associate it with. In Canada, we are lucky and have a few great products that we are known for.  Amongst others,  the West coast has wild pacific salmon and the Central provinces produce high quality beef.  I do think, however, that we are best known for our maple syrup.
